Genetics and Rett syndrome.
Rett syndrome is a disease of neurological development. First reported 30 years ago in 1966, its biological and genetic basis remain obscure. It is commonly thought of as an X-linked dominant disorder lethal to hemizygous males. This paper presents the latest genetic findings reported at the Pre-congress Genetic Seminar.
